Students will be able to learn more notes, rhythms and songs in the next few saxophone lessons and will learn how to vary the sounds on the saxophone. Students will find the beginner stage of the saxophone fun, just like learning a new language and full of stories on how their improvement is related to lots of practice and structured homework.

Here's the Most Frequently Asked Questions we receive about the Saxophone School
What is the difference between jazz saxophone and classical saxophone?
Should students start with clarinet or saxophone?
How much does the student need to practice?
What is the difference between jazz saxophone and classical saxophone?
The saxophone enjoys the status as everybody's favourite jazz instrument. So what
type of music do beginner saxophone students learn? Students start off learning
how to read notes and will play simple tunes from both jazz composers and classical
composers. After several lessons, students will then be able to select which style
of music they wish to pursue or whether they want to maintain a mix of both.
For students who want to complete saxophone exams, Shine Music School provides both
classical and jazz exams. Classical exams are facilitated by the Australian Music
Examinations Board ( AMEB) and Jazz exams are facilitated by the Associated Board
of the Royal School of Music UK ( ABRSM). Both have excellent syllabuses and are
well balanced to encompass both reading and aural skills. Feel free to call us on
(02) 96879978 if you have any questions about any of the saxophone exams.
Should students start with clarinet or saxophone?
Both instruments are beautiful instruments and are very popular band instruments
for schools. It is recommended that when choosing which instrument to start with,
it is again a preference of sound and instrument. Choose the instrument that the
student is most likely to be interested in practicing.
A helpful hint is to visit your local music cd store and sample some clarinetists
and saxophonists to listen to the difference in tone of the instruments. For students
under eight, Shine Music School recommends starting out with the clarinet since
it is a much lighter instrument than the saxophone.

Music examinations are a good tool for students who want to continually improve
their playing and performance ability and to have their playing ability graded on
a recurring basis. Music examinations allow students to grade their performance
ability every six months ( certain instruments ), provides goals for students to
aim for and provides a professional grading system for students. Shine Music School
encourages exams but are not enforced on students. Our primary aim is for students
to have fun exploring their chosen instrument.
Students are only encouraged to attempt examinations when they have attained a certain
level of competence and ability. At Shine Music School, all our teachers are Australian
Music Examinations Board ( AMEB ) , Contemporary Popular Music ( CPM) and Associated
Board of the Royal School of Music ( ABRSM UK) registered and we cater for Jazz,
Rock, Pop and Classical exams for all instruments.

How much does the student need to practice?
Practicing everyday is the most effective and fastest way of improving your skills as a musician. If you practice only every now and then, your improvement will be inconsistent. Even with just 10 minutes every day, you will notice an improvement week to week. Of course, the longer you practice every day, the better, 30 minutes is a good goal to aim for, as long as it is everyday!
